Well, I don't even know what exactly a rotary encoder is ![laugh.gif](http://en.440forums.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) but according to my 428 manual in the control protocol appendix, yes, the pan and EQ knobs are rotary encoders, so I would assume the protocol is similar for the firewire unit. My experience with Tascam has been great so far, mostly because I haven't had many problems. As an all-in-one solution for audio, MIDI, and a control surface, the 428 has served me quite well for home recording (i.e. minimal requirements), particularly for the price. The Tascam forum is an awesome resource and full of people willing to help out (for the most part). Unfortunately, as of late, the admins and other actual Tascam people have been quite absent, but much of the support comes from users anyway. Not sure how well this will apply to the FW-1884 with it being a new product and all, but I'm sure after it's been out for awhile, things will be similar. There were many gripes from folks waiting around for OSX drivers, but all things considered, Tascam wasn't too bad in its timing (beta in early Feb. and final a month later). There are still some Mac users having problems with the new driver (thankfully, I'm not one of them ![biggrin.gif](http://en.440forums.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) , but there's no clear rhyme or reason to it. Hopefully the FW-1884 is truly OSX-ready. It's supposed to feature control surface support quite a few DAWs either now or in the near future.
